“The relationship with the United States continues absolutely normal,” he assured, highlighting the climate of cooperation and trust.
He added that this is a special strategic link: “It is a privileged relationship, both because of the trust that exists in the Dominican authorities and because of the Dominican culture and the presence of the diaspora”.
As an example of that closeness, he recalled that the country was recently invited to a mini-summit in Washington on critical minerals along with 55 nations, including only seven Latin Americans, and that the Dominican Republic occupied a place at the main table. Álvarez maintained that, although specific differences may arise, these do not condition the strength of bilateral ties.
